Use in-store discounts
Subhash Raste has a saving idea that can help cut down your grocery bills. While small retailers sell at MRP, larger stores and supermarkets often offer a lot of discounts. Instead of making daily or weekly purchases from local grocery shops, Raste buys them on a monthly basis, from the supermarket, cashing in on various offers, which adds up to a total discount of around Rs 1,000.
